Why Kendall Jenner Isn't Walking New York Fashion Week

Although she has been spotted out multiple times (always looking stylish) in the Big Apple, Kendall Jenner isn't walking in the currently-ongoing New York Fashion Week for a second year in row.

In a new interview, the model has opened up about her decision to skip the week, revealing that it's more "mellow" if she chooses not to work.

"It's a lot more mellow to just go, but I won't lie, today I was missing it," she said. "I was watching the girls and I was like, 'Damn, I kind of want to walk.'"

The model did divulge that she'll be heading to Milan Fashion Week next and that she may be walking a show there. "TBD on everything else," she said.

Jenner has spoken about purposefully skipping fashion weeks before. In 2018, she told LOVE Magazine that her anxiety stopped her from walking runway shows.

"Last season I didn't do any shows. Just 'cause I was working in LA and I was like 'Oof, I can't right now—I'm gonna go crazy,'" she told the publication. "I was on the verge of a mental breakdown."

She also spoke to ELLE.com revealing that she has taken steps to overcome her anxiety about shows.

"I used to get really nervous during fashion shows," she said. "I feel like when you're walking on the runway—I say this from experience—you're just thinking, 'Walk straight! Walk straight!—and you try to just focus on that. Especially me, because I used to get really nervous when I knew people in the audience. I would try and force myself to zone out."

"But now, I'm cool with it—I've actually gotten so much better at it that I like knowing who's there, and I'll kind of peek over to see who's in the audience before I come out. But it took a little while to get to that point."
